John Tortorella admitted he needs to get Owen Tippett more ice time, as he seems to flourish more with more ice time. #Flyers
John Tortorella on Morgan Frost: "He shows up more. He has chances to score, he has to score. Now they need to score and Morgan is one of them. He's done those little things. On the Power Play he's made more plays than others. I think he is improving." #Flyers
John Tortorella on Brad Shaw: "Brad Shaw has done a terrific job with that backend, that's why I wanted Brad here. He teaches the details." #Flyers
John Tortorella on Travis Konecny changing the curve of his stick for success: "I think he's done a hell of a lot more with his game than change a curve. I don't think he gives himself enough credit. His mindset grows in wanting to make a difference." #Flyers
Tortorella said that Frost is playing well on both sides of the puck, creating offense and getting scoring chances. However, the coach said that with both Frost and Atkinson, "it's past the point of getting chances. We need them to score."
Perhaps instead of labeling it an unexpectedly hot start, it’s time to start considering whether this is simply who the Flyers are. They keep winning in different ways. They work for John Tortorella. And points keep stacking, writes @KKurzNHL ⤵️ https://t.co/dOkvtmcDrG https://t.co/lIfbRd0wt9
